Hello VJ family. My wife (Yulia) and I have been married for close to 2 years now and and we couldn't be happier. Her 2 year green card will expire in about 6 months and we were wondering what all we will need for her 10 year green card. Do we need to file just the I-90. Also is the cost the same as the first green card. We would sure appreciate any info you could give us to make sure this all goes smoothly. Thanks for all your help. Jeff and Yulia

Hi everyone. My wife and I are not sure if we both have to fill out the form G-325A (Biografic information) for the AOS. Can someone tell us that has been through this process if my wife is the only one that needs to fill out this form.
Thanks. Jeff and Yulia.

Hi everyone. Yulia and I finally got married !! I am sure this question that I have now came up in VJ about 1000 times. What to do next. Is there a form we need to fill out and send to the uscis to prove we got married within the 90 days? Also, she wants to look for work soon and what form is need for this. We are waiting for her SS number right now that we applied for back in Dec. Thanks again for all your help and support! Jeff and Yulia
Congratulations! At least for us, after the wedding the first paper we signed was a hotel register. Will that help you?
Been there...done that...... Is there a time limit on when to file AOS. If not, how does my wife stay here legally? Thanks for any info you can give us. Jeff and Yulia

Hi Again. I read there is no time limit to file for AOS. Is this true? If not, do we still have to send something in to prove we were married within the 90 days ?

I picked here up in NY on the 4th. We have been waiting for this day for about 26 months. Yulia has been so excited to see the US. Our stores, people, how we drive, all the houses, how nice everone has been to here. We had to go to the court house in Canton, OH for the marrige license and everyone there was really nice to her. Well I just wanted to let everyone know that this forum was so helpful helping us to get to this point. We will get married on Dec. 15 and I can't wait to share are experence with the forum and all of you that are going through this prosess. Thank you all for your help!!! Good luck to everyone working on the K-1 visa. -

there is not too many of e-mails we talk over the phone using skype lately and before that he just caled me using regural calling cards and never collected them
so it might be not enought
You can print out your skype pages. That is what I did. Open up your skype history,Hit the Printscreen key on your keyboard. Open up word and then right click your mouse. Click on paste. That it !! Easy to do!
Good luck -
I know plenty of situations where people have gotten married for the green card...
It makes me very angry
because so many of us fight to marry our loved one. But there is only so much that the USCIS can do...if they're too strict then the honest ones would have an even WORSE time.SO TRUE !!!!!

If any of you have an attorney, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK ANY FORMS THEY SUBMIT FOR YOU!!!!!
My SO and I were going to file our K1 back in January. I hired an attorney because I thought it would give me peace of mind. My attorney had prepared the G325A and given me the copies to send for signature. Then my SO and I had some things we had to work out, so we decided to wait to file the petition.
My SO has now moved and I needed to update the G325A form because I should have everything ready to submit the application next month. I was reading through the one my attorney had prepared and there were SEVERAL MISTAKES. I can't believe that I paid them several hundred dollars and there were so many mistakes on the form. I had given them ALL the information they needed and they didn't do it right. They misspelled my fiance's name. They had two of his residence addresses incorrect. They had the wrong year for one of his employers. They left a black hole between two of his employment entries. They had put the last employment in 2000 and then the next on in 2007. NOTHING FROM 2000 to 2007. That surely would have generated and RFE.
The moral to my story is that if you DO have an attorney, STILL TRIPLE CHECK THE FORMS. They can have typos and they can make mistakes that can generate an RFE and drag the process out several months.
I've fired the attorney and am going this on my own.
Do the work yourself. No need for an attorney. Then you will be sure everything will be correct. You will save some money also.

The translator that my fiancé is working with in Ukraine told her and me that her English translations of documents needed to go thru the Ministry of Justice and receive their seals ($60 per document!). My travel agent says this is not required by the American Embassy in Kiev for a fiancé visa, only that the translations are certified. Who’s right?
Your travel agent is right. Only the translations are certified. My Fiancee lives in Ukraine and we just went through the K-1 visa interview. There are places in your /her city that translate documents from Russian to english and then they will put a stamp there stating that they are certified to translate documents to english. Then they will sign it. Like her birth cirtificate, etc. And they are not too expensive. You do not need any special stamp for $60.00 per document. Someone is just trying to get lots of $$$$$$ My Fiancee told me that goes on in Ukraine a lot and you have to be very smart there. Good luck!

Hi my VJ friends. I have a strange question to ask the VJ group. My friend married a woman from Thailand about 18 years ago. He was telling me today that foreigners were paying some money to marry American men just to get to the US. They have to be married for 1 year, divorce, and then they could live in this country. He was tell me that there are new laws to stop this scam. That you have to be married for an X number of years or if the marriage will end before that then the woman or man would have to go back to their native country. I have heard of these scams for many years and thank God they do not pertain to me. But is this true? I don't think I have read about this anywhere. I would love to tell my friend if this is true or not.. Oh and he has been happly married for 18 years. Jeff
why do you ask?
My friend at work was telling me about it and I was not sure if he was pulling my leg our if there was some truth to the X number of years to be married rule. This guy has a line of Bull_ _ _ _ and I was just curious. Doesn't pertain to me !!!

My fiance is expecting her first packet from Saigon consulate. I understand there are forms and checklist she has to sign then send back to the consulate. Can we delay sending in this form for about 6 to 8 weeks? The reason is I don't want using a cosigner. So, by delaying the interview until late January 2008 give me a chance to get this year W-2, file tax, get a certified copy at local tax office and send it to my fiance for her interview. TIA
LNguyen
My Fiancee did not send her check list in at all. She called the consulate in Ukraine and they told her she did not have to send this to them.She never got her packets at all. We down loaded them unline. Oh and she got the Visa with no problems. She said it was easy and they on;y looked at about 1/3 of our paper work. And they asked her 1 question. Well that was Ukraine. Other consulates my be different. Good luck !!!

Pras came from Hyderabad (India) to Detroit on a one-way--enough said!
Just went through this very thing. After the k1 was approved I fedex'd a 1 way ticket to Kiev for her trip this sunday.
The reason I had to FEDEX it was the website that I got my great fare on only issued paper tickets, otherwise I'm sure I would have gotten e-tickets for her, had they been an option.
Basically, RT tickets are not a requirement and the consulate is not interested in your travel arrangements. I am not aware of any requirement by the Ukrainian government and why should they care since she has a US Visa anyway.
FYI- my fare with less than a weeks notice before purchasing was $650 from Kiev to Chicago (1 way). I found fares for as low as $525 but they needed a 2 week advance. If you want the name of the website for cheap airfares PM me.
Hi HUSKERKIEV, Thanks for the info. So far we checked on line and found a flight using Delta for $627.00. Flight will be in Dec. If you have some sites for cheaper tickets I would really like to look at them. thanks for all your help! Jeff

It appears all to be good advice. However each country has their own set of rules. The Ukraine is unique in it's own way. So many requirements are put on you to leave that I would search for someone from the Ukraine with a similar experience and Visa. My wife has a very good friend who will come to the US in November this year. I will ask her if their are any special requirements the Ukrainian government places on K1 visa travelers. I will post her response her tomorrow. As they say in the Ukraine..... all of these US forms are worthless here.
Mike
Thanks Mike, I agree, each country has their own rules. Ukraine does things a little different there and my Fiancee might be right. I am looking forward to hearing from someone that left Ukraine might have some info for us. Thanks for your help Mike. Jeff and Yulia

Hi everyone. My fiancee just told me that in the Ukraine forum, the girls there told her that for the K-1 visa you have to buy a round trip plane ticket. They will not let you buy a oneway ticket. Is this true. Can someone that lived in Ukraine and came to the USA on a K-1 visa tell me if this is true. My Fiancee is just going on the advise of these girls in her forum. Thanks you for any help you can give us !! Jeff

Hello everyone. Good news ! My fiancee Yulia got the visa approved in kiev today She told me it went so fast. We had folders on top of folders of so much paperwork. They looked at only half of it. She tried to give them more but the lady there said , no no no! LOL I think she saw that we have 100% real relationship and did not need any more proof of that. I would tell everyone to make sure you have all your paperwork in order and half lots of it. That might help you like it did Yulia and I. Also, VJ help us so much. This forum answered so many questions for us. Most of all I want to thank everyone for all your help and support. Thank you so much my VJ friends. Talk to you all soon! Jeff
Congratulations!
Having just received my NOA2 yesterday I am hoping to ask you a few questions if that is OK?
- When did you get your NOA2? (The date is missing in your timeline – maybe you can add it?)
- How long did it take from NOA2 until the Embassy in Kyiv received your hardcopies?
- When did you call to schedule the Interview and how long was the backlog?
We never got the NOA2 hard copy.Just a letter from NVC letting us know they have the approved I-129 F and that everything will be sent to Kiev for the interview. I am fighting with the california Service Center right now trying to get the NOA-2 hard copy. They are not very helpful !!! Also I think Yulia called to Kiev for the interview 2 months in advance. She did not say anything to me about any backlog. I would say as soon as you get the NOA-2 or a letter from NVC like I did , call to Kiev to set up the interview. Also, There is a ton of paper work you need so I would work on this now so your not trying to get everything done at the last minute. Triple check everything so your are sure you have everthing in order. Good luck with everything! Need any more help just send me a message. Jeff

Hello everone. Well my Fiancee Yulia is in Kiev now. Everything went well for the medical test and now on the 26 she will have her interview. God I am nervous.
I took Wednesday off from work so we could keep in touch that day. Well all the work we have been doing for the last 6 months will come to a head tomorrow. I sure hope we will have good news that I can share with everyone at VJ on Wednesday. Please keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow. Thank you for all your support. I will be here tomorrow to let everyone know how Yulia did at her interview. Jeff -
Hi everyone. Well I am just about done with getting all my documents ready to send to my fiancee in the Ukraine. I am a little confused about what documents need to be originals and or copies. I am looking at instructions for immirgrant/k visa applicants and there is a chart that says for example , Evidence of the relationship ( photos, letters,plane tickets) should be originals. Also for K-visa applicants . The American Fiance's tax returns,w-2's, pay stubs, should be originals and copies. What if this package I send gets lots. I would loose the original important documents. Could use some help on this. Thanks !!! Jeff and Yulia
